Good morning! We have been a bit quiet here as we have been moving through teething with a very busy baby and celebrated the birthdays of two big kids... I keep asking myself if I am old enough to have a 15yo, apparently I am! He is my son on the spectrum and I tell ya, he is such a joy (most days!) and it is so interesting to see how they grow through the teens years. My daughter turned 11 and I am constantly amazed at the beautiful and responsible young woman she is growing up to be. When I think of our children, I often think about how we got to this place - it is not always a picnic, in fact I had to help the two big boys get through a conflict this morning that involved bellowing voices and name calling, it happens, not often but it does. Every family has different dynamics. I do believe with all my heart and soul that we have an amazing strength in our family and it comes from Erik and I really learning how to hold the space. I want to share with you a short podcast we just recorded for our Thinking Feeling Willing program, if you are struggling with rhythm, authority and feeling like a good mom, maybe it will help.
Podcast Holding the Space.
Blessings.
